HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SQUARE. SCARE. TODD KAZAKIEWICH IS LIVE IN AME SBURY TONIGHT. A COMMAND POST WAS SET UP BEHIND US AND THERE WERE TENSE MOMENTS AS THEY WORKED TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH OF A DANGEROUS CHEMICAL SPILLED AND WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. HAZMAT CREWS RUSHED TO ARCHITECT UNTILINGS INJURIES COMPANY PRODUCES MICROWAVE MATERIALS. PEOPLE WITHIN A 300-FOOT RAIDOUS HAD TO BE EVACUATED. THE CONTAINER BREACHED. THEY HAVE A CONTAINMENT SYSTEM WITHIN THE NEGATIVE PRESSURED ROOM. IT WAS FEARED THAT AS MUCH AS 55-GALLONS OF HEPTANE SPILLED IN THE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM. LATER THAT WAS SCALED BACK TO FIVE GALLONS. THE MAKEUP THERE IN THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AND EVAPORATING OFF. THAT IS THE WAY WE WILL MITIGATE THIS. ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT CAUSED THE SPILL? THERE WAS A FAILURE OF A SYSTEM SOMEWHERE. IT AS FAIRLY NEW PROCESS. PERMANENT PROCESS, INSPECTED PROCESS. EVERYTHING WAS DONE WELL ABOVEBOARD. AS THE CHIEF SAID THANKFULLY THE CHEMICAL DID EVAPORATE.
